Electroacoustic fixed-media composition
Collaborative Electroacoustic Composition with Intelligent Agents (CECIA) is an innovative art project that integrates the creative agency of 5 composers and Machine Learning algorithms in order to produce a coherent composition of electroacoustic music. As part of the “Interfaces” Artist Residencies, the CECIA project aims to explore collaborative music creation, by connecting composers and Intelligent Agents through a cloud platform. The objective of the project is to foster collaborative creativity, enabling young composers to exchange ideas and co-create with state-of-the-art algorithms. Through features such as constant web presence, transparent creative process and well-documented collaborative activity we aim to produce content with high artistic and technological impact for musicians, composers and music enthusiasts.Collaborative Electroacoustic Composition with Intelligent Agents (CECIA) is an innovative art project that integrates the creative agency of 5 composers and Machine Learning algorithms in order to produce a coherent composition of electroacoustic music.

The CECIA project is conducted by the composer and sound artist Kosmas Giannoutakis, who will focus on the development of the cloud platform, and the composer, performer and researcher Artemi – Maria Gioti who brings an expertise in Machine Learning for music applications. The development period began in March 2019 and ended in July 2019 with two artist residencies at the ZKM, where the researchers will finalize the technical details of the cloud platform and the Machine Learning algorithms. The five selected composers are Panayioyis Kokoras, Mariam Gviniashvili, Juan Carlos Vasquez, Martyna Kosecka and Erik Nyström, who will be able to work remotely via the cloud platform.
